New Professor at Hogwarts

Contrary to expectations, the freshman branch was almost halfway completed, but Snape still didn't show up, which made Xia Ran very depressed. If Snape didn't come to call Professor McGonagall away, how could he take the opportunity to take over Professor McGonagall's work? Help new students complete the sorting ceremony.

Looking at Xia Ran, Professor Trelawney was a little strange. Professor Fremont looked very depressed. Doesn't he like the work of Professor Hogwarts? Huh, it must be that he doesn't have any real materials, and he feels unsure and scared when he thinks that he has to teach so many students!

Professor Trelawney ignored Xia Ran and turned to look at the group of freshmen. She seemed to be waiting to see who would graduate from Hogwarts safely and who would be expelled from Hogwarts, just like dozens of new students. Same as Newt years ago.

At this moment, Professor Snape suddenly strode over from the faculty passage and said a few words to Dumbledore. Dumbledore was obviously stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face faded. , and Snape quickly walked to Professor McGonagall and whispered a few words to her.

Professor McGonagall's face instantly became extremely serious, her lips were pursed tightly, and she seemed very angry.

Not only were the freshmen trembling, but the old students and the professors were all a little confused. What did Professor Snape say? Why did Professor McGonagall get so angry?

While everyone was puzzled, Xia Ran's eyes widened. Snape caught Harry and Ron who had just arrived at school. Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall must be very dissatisfied with their behavior.

However, this was my chance.

Xia Ran suppressed her excitement and waited for Professor McGonagall to follow Snape out of the great hall.

"Professor Snape, please wait a moment, I want to complete the sorting ceremony for the new students." Professor McGonagall said, lifting the sorting hat from the little wizard's head with one hand, and the sorting hat just shouted out the word "Slytherin", and Because the situation in front of him was rather strange, the applause from the Slytherin rectangular table was sparse, and the little wizard seemed a little aggrieved.

"Professor McGonagall..." Snape frowned suddenly, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xia Ran.

"Professor McGonagall, Professor Snape, if you have anything else to do, I am willing to help you complete the sorting ceremony." Xia Ran volunteered, controlling her excitement, and there was no strange look on her face.

"This... okay!" Professor McGonagall hesitated for a moment. Since a professor was willing to complete the sorting ceremony in her place, how to deal with Harry and Ron was more important now.

She said: "Professor Frémont, it's up to you."

Lockhart seemed to have a look of regret on his face, muttering that he should have taken the initiative to take on this responsibility.

"No trouble, no trouble." Xia Ran said with a smile, walked out from behind the teacher's desk, and took the list of freshmen and the sorting hat from Professor McGonagall.

His heart skipped a beat and he almost couldn't control himself.

"The Sorting Hat of Hogwarts has 150 Force points. Do you want to absorb it?" A message appeared in Xia Ran's eyes, and only he could see it.

Xia Ran secretly thought that indeed, items with far-reaching influence or great significance in this world will contain Force points, and the Sorting Hat has as many as 150 points!

But at this juncture, he definitely wouldn't dare to absorb the Force points from the Sorting Hat. If the Force points were sucked away and something went wrong with the Sorting Hat, he, Xia Ran, would be the culprit and could not escape the blame!

Although it was his doing.

"Professor Snape, let's go." Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and followed Professor Snape out of the great hall.

"Professor Sprout, could you please go to the Shrieking Shack and take a look at the Whomping Willow? This precious plant has suffered some damage." Dumbledore suddenly looked at the headmaster of Hufflepuff, who was also Hogg. said Sprout, who teaches Watts' herbal medicine class.

Professor Sprout was obviously stunned for a moment, but she still left the auditorium amid doubts and went to check out the Whomping Willow.

"Professor Frémont, go ahead," Dumbledore said.

"Okay, Professor Dumbledore." Xia Ran resisted her urge to absorb Force points, picked up the list of new students, and continued to sort the schools at the position that Professor McGonagall just read.

Halfway through, Professor Snape came in, took away Professor McGonagall, and left with Professor Sprout, as if it was just an interlude and had no impact at all. The sorting continued, and the applause from the four long tables continued. The sound of falling sound.

After a while, Xia Ran finished reading the last name on the list, rolled up the parchment, held the sorting hat in hand, and looked at Professor Dumbledore.

Albus Dumbledore stood up. He looked at the students with a smile on his face and stretched out his arms to them. Nothing seemed to make him happier than to see the students gathered together.

"Welcome!" Dumbledore said with a smile, "Welcome to Hogwarts to start the new school year, thank you all!"

This time he didn't say anything else, just two simple and clear sentences.

Bang bang! !

Everyone applauded and the golden plates in front of them were filled with all kinds of dishes, including roast beef, pork chops, lamb chops, steaks, boiled potatoes, tomato sauce, etc. The teachers and students became even more happy.

"Professor Frémont, please send the Sorting Hat to my office. The password is still cockroach pile." Dumbledore said, turned around and left the Great Hall. He was going to Snape's underground office to take a look. Leigh, Ron, let's hear how they defend themselves.

Xia Ranxin said that if I lose control and absorb the Force points in the Sorting Hat, causing some problems with the Sorting Hat, you can't come to me!

Of course, he only dared to think this in his heart. This seemingly ordinary system was one of his biggest secrets that no one would tell anyone.

With the sorting hat and parchment in hand, he went straight to Dumbledore's principal's office on the eighth floor.

"You seem to have something on your mind!" the Sorting Hat said suddenly. At this time, they had reached the third floor.

Xia Ran raised his eyebrows. He was quite proficient in Occlumency. After all, Level 4 Charms was not false. He didn't worry about his inner thoughts being seen through by the Sorting Hat. He smiled and said, "What's the point of your ability to spy into people's minds?" Which founder gave it to you? I wonder what spells the four founders cast on you?"

To be honest, he was really curious about these questions.

"I don't know," the Sorting Hat replied.

"Ah?" Xia Ran was surprised.

"I'm just a hat, what can I know? Even you, the combat professor, don't know it, let alone me." The Sorting Hat said confidently.

"..."

Xia Ran was speechless. The magical attainments of the four giants must be at the top level in the Harry Potter world. At least they will not lose to Dumbledore and Voldemort. As a special magic item, the Sorting Hat may not even be known to the hat itself. What magic spells were cast on it by the four giants? Or maybe it knew about it but was unwilling to tell Xia Ran.

Xia Ran delivered the sorting hat and parchment to the principal's office, and then returned to the auditorium. He was still hungry.
